• Abstract: We investigate the finite-time behavior of pair production from the vacuum by a time-dependent Sauter pulsed electric field. By examining the temporal behavior of the single-particle distribution function, we observe oscillatory patterns in the longitudinal momentum spectrum of the particles at finite times. These oscillations arise due to quantum interference effects resulting from the various dynamical processes/channels leading to the creation of the (quasi-)particle of a given momentum. Furthermore, we derive an approximate and simplified analytical expression for the distribution function at finite times, allowing us to explain these oscillations' origin and behavior. The role of the vacuum polarization function and its counterterm are also discussed in this regard. The transverse momentum spectrum peaked at the nonzero value of the transverse momentum at finite times, which indicates the role of multiphoton transitions in the creation of quasiparticles.

  We report on an emergent mechanism for pumping in a quantum gas coupled to an optical resonator. Due to dissipation, the cavity field evolves between its two quadratures, each corresponding to a different centrosymmetric crystal configuration. This self-oscillation results in a time-periodic potential analogous to that describing the transport of electrons in topological tight-binding models.

  kinetic energy imparted to a quantum rotor by a non-resonant electromagnetic pulse with a temporal profile exhibits quasi-periodic drops as a function of the pulse duration. Our analysis reveals that the drops result from the oscillating populations that make up the wavepacket created by the pulse. handy analytic formulae are derived that allow to predict the pulse durations leading to diminished kinetic energy transfer and orientation.

  We show that the Zitterbewegung effect manifests itself as a series of quantum beats of the particle density in the long-time limit. We also find a time-domain where the particle density of the point source is governed by the propagation of a main wavefront. The relative positions of these wavefronts are used to investigate the time-delay of quantum waves in the Klein-tunneling regime.
